@Tristan I wish the accepted answer had more detail, but yeah, I agree, this is close enough to be a dupe.

If it's any consolation, two out of the three Me3 questions I've asked were duplicates. We've had so many so fast I can't keep track. Especially on the mobile site, where "similar" questions don't lost when you title your own.

"The Atlas' cockpit window can be shattered after its shields have been taken down. This requires a considerable amount of sustained fire, but breaking the window will leave the pilot vulnerable to attack. Killing the pilot will destroy the Atlas immediately in multiplayer. In some instances in single-player, however, this will leave the Atlas intact and able to be piloted by the player."
